Gu Junzhu glanced over his shoulder at Lingyue standing behind him, patting the child’s head before turning back to look at Senior Master Xie. His smile grew even wider. “Uncle Xie, having was on the battlefield for so many years, you should understand better than I do. Those who actively hurt people are criminals, but those who fight back when oppressed are seeking righteous vengeance. When we were attacked by foreigners, you, along with my father and others, drove out the invaders, defeating them thoroughly. You didn’t just stand by and take the blows. Xiao Yue’s actions are merely an extension of your generation’s admirable legacy. Don’t you agree, Uncle Xie?”

“Absolutely not!” Senior Master Xie cursed in anger. “Momo was wrong to have pushed Beibei down the stairs. But this little brat pushed Momo down the stairs in return, isn’t that an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth? Shouldn’t that even the score? Why is he still not content and later sneak into Momo’s room and disfigure her face? Momo is a young girl, only thirteen! How can she face the world after he disfigured her face?”

Ye Xingbei, who had been silent so far, suddenly spoke: “Grandfather, do you think that I should not have come to Beijing? I should not have visited you and grandmother? If I hadn’t come, you wouldn’t have gotten into conflicts with your son and daughter-in-law…”

“Beibei, don’t say that!” Xie Jinfei was the first to object, he rebuked Senior Master Xie, “Grandfather, what’s wrong with you? The moment you set foot inside, you began berating everyone. You didn’t even bother to ask how Beibei was doing. All you have been doing is going on about Momo. Don’t you care about my sister at all? She is the victim, isn’t she?”

Xie Yunlin glared at him, “Xiao Fei, mind your manners when you speak to your grandfather!”

Xie Jinfei huffed in response, mumbling under his breath, “But it’s true!”

Senior Master Xie was left in an awkward position, embarrassed by Ye Xingbei’s and Xie Jinfei’s words.

He looked at Ye Xingbei, his face and tone softening: “Beibei, grandfather didn’t mean to blame you. I am more worried about you than angry at you. I didn’t ask about your condition when I arrived because I knew about it already. I only knew you were not seriously injured, otherwise I would have asked. But Momo…”

“Grandfather,” Ye Xingbei interrupted him, her clear eyes watching him quietly. “I consider myself to have done nothing wrong, yet I was pushed off the escalator by Xie Yumo. Luckily, I only suffered a concussion rather than losing my life. If I had died, who would have taken care of Xiao Shu?”

Upon hearing the word “death,” Xiao Shumiao shivered uncontrollably, remembering the horrible sight of Ye Xingbei lying unconscious at the bottom of the elevator, covered in blood.

He burst into tears and ran into Ye Xingbei’s arms, clinging to her waist and crying out, “Mommy can’t die! Xiao Shu doesn’t want Mommy to die, Mommy can’t die, Mommy can’t die!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“It’s okay, it’s okay,” Ye Xingbei reassured him, patting him as she maintained eye contact with the Senior Master Xie, “Grandfather, I don’t know about repaying evil with kindness. All I know is, if we repay evil with kindness, then how do we repay kindness? Being young is not an excuse for committing evildoing. Since Xie Yumo dared to harm others, she should accept the consequences.”

“She has faced the consequences!” Senior Master Xie frowned. “I’ve already said it, I’m not angry that this child pushed Momo off the elevator last night. What I’m angry about is that he sneaked into Momo’s hospital room in the middle of the night and completely ruined her face! At this tender age, you encourage him to do these cruel things.. Aren’t you afraid of leading this child astray?”
